Every baby comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged with man.
~Rabindranath Tagore

God is in the slums, in the cardboard boxes where the poor play house… God is in the silence of a mother who has infected her child with a virus that will end both their lives… God is in the cries heard under the rubble of war… God is in the debris of wasted opportunity and lives, and God is with us if we are with them.
~Bono

Mirmax


On the day you were born, I was so joyful. Many thought you would be a boy, not sure why. I knew. Your name was chosen just for you because you are a Thomas kid... a leader.

When Moses lead the children of Israel out of Egypt, Miriam lead the nation of Israel in worship and dancing.

Then Miriam the prophetess, Aaron's sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women followed her, with tambourines and dancing.


I love your dance. It is beautiful to me and to the Lord. I love you.

Miriam has a nickname... Mirmax. Maximum is here nature. All out. Nothing half way. All or none. I love this about her. She can physically challenge those twice her age and compete well.

She has a giving heart that makes her even more beautiful. Speak to harsh words to her and tears are quick to come. She cares for others... Gives to others... She has a heart that would make anyone proud.

I can't wait to see where she will go. She will go somewhere. However, with Mir, I think it would be good to point her at something so she hits it.

I wondered before she was born, "how can you love more than one child?" Miriam gave me the answer that changed my whole life.

peace.
